Chapter 82 Chapter 82
The atmosphere in the courtyard is relaxed, cheerful and full of joy.
But Xi Siling never found a suitable opportunity to discuss the issue of his "home" with Lin Chipei in depth.
This was like a huge rock that couldn't be dropped, and Xi Siling had no mood to enjoy the joy of the approaching Spring Festival.
Lin Zhipei is leaving tomorrow, and Xi Siling knows that this may be his only chance in this life.
At the same time, it is also the best opportunity for Liuhuacu to untie his knot.
After much thought, Xi Siling decided to break out of this circle.
He would not get any useful information by 'making things difficult' for Lin Zhipei, simply because he was being controlled and he could not say anything related to his suffering.
Therefore, Xi Siling decided to directly embarrass Hua and Gu.
And he must be caught off guard.
If Lin Zhipei had to call back and inform Hua and Gu to be prepared because of some "orders", it would be inconvenient for them to investigate.
It’s better to keep it a secret for now.
That night, after saying goodnight to Lin Zhipei and Liu Huaqi, Xi Siling quietly went to find Zhong Huai.
"Oh? Si Ling, do you want to talk to me so late?"
All of Zhong Huai's wine was taken away by Tang Yang, leaving not a single bottle for him, so he just stayed in his room watching TV and reading newspapers.
Xi Siling walked in, "Yes, I do have something to discuss with you, Mr. Zhong Huai."
The child who was the least worrying came to me late at night and said that he had something to do, which was quite intimidating.
Zhong Huai turned down the volume of the TV and said, "Sit down. What's going on?"
"I want to go with Lin Zhipei tomorrow. I want to visit his home and wish him a happy new year."
The reason was very sufficient, but if it was just to wish a happy new year, Xi Siling would not have come to him so formally to discuss this matter.
In addition, at this point in time, Xi Siling might not have told Lin Zipei about this matter yet.
"Are you worried?"
The two children haven't seen each other for many years, but fortunately their friendship has not faded with the passage of time.
Xi Siling nodded without any intention of concealing her feelings.
Zhong Huai did not respond immediately, but frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
"I visit Zi Pei every year. From what I've observed, he and his uncle get along well, and nothing unusual has ever happened."
Xi Siling was not in a hurry. He looked straight at Mr. Zhong Huai and said, "But, your next sentence is but."
Zhong Huai threw the TV remote control in his hand aside, which seemed to indicate that he was in a somewhat depressed mood.
"You always guess right."
Xi Siling specifically mentioned this matter, and those memories naturally surfaced.
From eight years ago to today, every year when Zhong Huai went to visit, Lin Zhipei's attitude was almost the same.
He always showed great respect for his uncle, and when he was alone with Zhong Huai, he said that his uncle treated him very well and told Zhong Huai not to worry.
But eyes don't lie.
Zhong Huai could not see any elements of joy and happiness in Lin Zhipei's eyes.
But his indirect hints received no response, and he couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood.
Hua Hegu is Lin Zhipei's uncle. After he adopted the child, he became the guardian.
Without evidence, Zhong Huai had no way to help Lin Zhipei.
This doesn't mean he has no worries.
"Okay, go ahead. What are you going to do?"
Zhong Huai must give advance notice when he comes to visit, but Xi Siling, the "child", doesn't have to make that concession.
A childhood playmate suddenly wanted to come over to pay New Year's greetings. As Lin Zhipei's guardian, Hua Hegu would probably not mind it.
Xi Siling smiled, not hiding his suspicion, "Of course he went there secretly."
——
After leaving Mr. Zhong Huai's room, Xi Siling called out the system.
"System, can you sense 77's fog?"
I don't know what Liuhuaqi's special ability is. Even the warning in the secret text will not be triggered. Because of his past experiences, the child feels very insecure. It is normal for him to be alert and observe his surroundings at all times if he has enough ability.
But Xi Siling was not sure whether the conversation between him and Mr. Zhong Huai was heard by Liu Huaqi, so he pulled out the system to ask.
This kind of answer that does not change reality and is irrelevant does not even require willpower. "I can sense that the range covers the entire orphanage. Are you going to look for Liu Huaqi?"
Although nominally he went to Linzhipei to pay New Year's greetings, wasn't it clear what he actually wanted to do?
We must take 77 with us on this trip.
So he didn't stop and came to the door of Liuhuaqi's room.
"77, are you asleep?"
Xi Siling knocked on the door and Liuhuaqi came over quickly.
"I'm not asleep, senior, is there anything wrong?"
I clearly know what happened, but I still pretend to know nothing.
The same goes for Xi Siling. She clearly knew that 77 knew what happened, but she pretended not to know what he knew.
It's inexplicably funny.
"Well, there are some things that I can talk about?"
Liu Huaqi nodded and moved aside to make way.
Xi Siling briefly talked about the New Year's greetings to Lin Zhipei's family, but he did not mention his doubts. He only said that he had not seen him for many years and wanted to spend more time with Lin Zhipei.
After all, his suspicions seemed unfounded, and "uncertainty" should not be made public.
"Is the department senior asking me if I want to go with him?"
"Yes, I wanted to ask for your opinion. After all, I brought you here, and it's not good to leave you here alone."
Xi Siling spoke frankly and sincerely. Even though Liu Huaqi felt a little uncomfortable, he knew that the senior cared about his feelings and thoughts.
Of course he knew he had another choice, which was to go home. After all, Liu Huaqi didn't say that he would stay here for the New Year.
But that was Lin Zhipei.
Maybe this is a good opportunity to find out where Lin Zhipei was and what she was doing before she deliberately approached him.
"If you don't mind, please take me with you."
Xi Siling knew that Liu Huaqi would not refuse, "How could they dislike it? No one would dislike you."
He emphasized the latter sentence.
Liuhuaqi smiled shyly, "Do I need to tell Lin Zhipei in advance?"
"It's a surprise. Of course we'll tell you when we set off."
We have to keep an eye on Lin Zhipei and not let him inform Hua Hegu without being forced to do so.
Xi Siling's idea was simple but direct. First of all, he had to rescue Lin Zipei.
Secondly, we must give that old bastard a heavy blow.
The next day, everyone got up very early.
Needless to say, Xi Siling and Liuhuaci got up early to pack their things.
Lin Zhipei couldn't sleep, so she simply didn't sleep.
Happy times are always short. When Lin Zhipei thought about leaving here and returning to that depressing and painful place, she wished she could die immediately.
He didn't bring much stuff with him when he came, so naturally he wouldn't carry a lot of bags when he left.
Lin Zhipei looked at Brother Si Ling and A Qi who were also carrying backpacks, and she hadn't reacted yet, "Are you guys going out too?"
Mr. Zhong Huai spoke first, "I decided to ask them to go to your house to pay New Year's greetings on my behalf. Si Ling said she couldn't bear to leave you. Surprise, right?"
Xi Siling smiled and nodded, "Pepe, I'll have to bother you for a while longer."
Lin Zhipei was stunned for a moment. At first, she felt an barely perceptible ecstasy in her heart, but then she fell into an ice cellar in an instant.
Hua Hegu only knew that he was going back today, but he didn't know that someone would follow him back.
If he didn't find a way to notify them in advance, he would definitely be punished later.
But...but what if?
Brother Si Ling and A Qi are both supernatural beings, maybe they can discover something...
Lin Zipei returned to the day when she was questioned by Xi Siling.
Maybe Brother Si Ling realized something was wrong at that time, so he wanted to help me?
What if...what if they just went there to pay New Year's greetings...
Lin Zipei could have pretended nothing had happened and left the orphanage, acting as if she had never been to this place again and had never met her brother Si Ling, thus severing her past.
But Brother Si Ling seemed to give him hope again and again.
I...what should I do...
His instinct to ask for help was calling out, but he was also afraid that it was all just his illusion, his wishful thinking.
If he failed to escape, he would surely be greeted with Hua Hegu's extreme anger.
"Come on, Pepe, we'll talk on the way."
Xi Siling patted the boy's shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile.
He couldn't say clearly that he would definitely save him. After all, he was just suspicious and didn't know what happened to Pepe.
Lin Zhipei gave a smile that made people sad, "...Okay."
On the way back 'home' with Lin Zipei, Xi Siling kept finding topics to chat about, not giving Lin Zipei any chance to look at her phone.
They must not let that old man Hua Hegu discover their purpose.
Thanks to Xi Siling's many years of experience as a corporate slave, he didn't seem awkward in finding topics to talk about, and even the taxi driver could join in and say a few words.
Lin Zhipei couldn't take out her phone to look at it in this atmosphere, and...
He decided to seize this opportunity.
From childhood to adulthood, the boy has tried to escape countless times, and without a doubt, he failed every time.
He convinced himself that this was the last time.
He would accept the final outcome even if it meant being controlled for the rest of his life or even death.
After getting off the car, the three of them came to a private house halfway up the mountain.
Lin Zhipei talked about some things related to his uncle.
"My uncle's name is Hua Hegu. He is a professor at the Institute of Supernatural Management and does research related to supernatural powers."
The research that Hua Hegu conducted on Lin Zhipei was naturally an experiment that was not allowed by the country and was against ethical standards, so it naturally required a secluded place that was not easily discovered.
"Hua and Gu?"
Liu Huaqi repeated the name with some surprise.
"Do you know Ah Qi?"
Although he is very famous in the industry, ordinary people with superpowers would not care about the research on superpowers, so it is normal not to know about it.
"I've heard of that name."
But it was more than just a rumor. In the future, this professor seemed to have figured out the principles of supernatural inheritance and generation, and became famous overnight.
But later there were some rumors that his research was related to human experiments, but in the end it was nothing.
Liuhuaqi didn't care what the situation was.
But many rumors are not groundless...
"Really?" Lin Zhipei couldn't smile.
